Este verano, quería comprar un sombrero nuevo, pero no es fácil encontrar un modelo que me quede bien. Así que opté por darle un cambio de look a mi borsalino de los años anteriores con una cinta bordada que me costó un euro el metro en el mercadillo de los domingos.This summer, I would like to buy a new hat, but I don't look well with any model. So I decided to get a new look to my old borsalino hat. I bought this embroidered ribbon in the sunday market by only one euro/meter.

Hoy les hablo de uno de esos productos que me sorprenden. Compré estas toallitas desmaquillantes porque necesitaba unas para un curso de automaquillaje y elegí las más baratas del supermercado. Today, I talk you about one of these products that surprises me. I bought these make up remover tissues because I need them for a self-make-up lesson and I chose the cheapest of the supermarket.

Here we are again with a new "Share in Style". This time, theme is white colour. For this occasion, I have chosen the same white pants I wore when we shared "Gold" theme and a hand-painted t-shirt made by me. That's the way of showing my "work of art" on a "white canvas". The accessories are quite old.

They're everywhere, but it seems we don't dare to wear them. Maybe in summer, we take the chance in the summer festivals and with the good mood of this season, we'll dare to put them on our heads. Hair bands or crowns? Your choice!

Once again, I bring the schedule of activities for July in Gran Canaria. Two of the events are related to fashion, but there are culture and music too. For more information about each activity, click on each title. Let's get started:

En el último post les mostraba un coletero vaquero DIY, hoy les enseño cómo hacerlo. Si tiendes a acumular retales de tela, ésta es una bonita forma de reconvertirlos en algo útil.I showed you a DIY denim hair band in last post, today I show you how to do it. If you have a lot of scraps of fabrics, that's a beautiful way to turn them into something useful.

Material:

Coleteros/Hair bands

Retales/Scraps

Tijeras/Scissors

Agua e hilo/Needle and thread (o máquina de coser/or sewing machine)

Alfileres/Pins.

Elaboración:

Cortar dos trozos de la tela usando la plantilla./Cut two pieces of fabric using the pattern.

Coser (a mano o a máquina) los dos trozos del revés dejando un espacio sin cerrar./Sew (handly or using the machine) the two pieces inside out and leave a small piece without sewing.

Dar la vuelta y hacer un nudo introduciendo el coletero en medio./Turn over and make a knot leaving the hair band in the middle.

The last "Share In Style" was difficult because I didn't have many golden clothes, now, the difficulty is to choose only one of the lot of denim clothes I have. That's the reason because I decided to create a total denim look.

With this post I finish the special publications about the Swimwear Fashion Week Gran Canaria Moda Cálida. You can see the fashion shows here, here, here and here, and also next July 6th for international channel of TVE. Meanwhile, I leave you the best moments of the week.

Allí pudimos beber cervezas bien fresquitas para el calor de esos días y se desveló el resultado del concurso de diseño de botellas./There we could drink some cold beers, perfect for the hot days and it was revealed the winner of the contest of bottles design.

And that's all. I want to give thanks for leaving me enjoy this event and I want to congratulate every person who took part in each way of this fashion week: sponsors, organizers, designers, models, seamstresses, hairdressers and make up artists, security, ...
